An easy way to create animations with bidimensional matrix

MatrixAnimator2D

This java application written using Swing framework let you create bidimensional matrices animations.

How does it work?

Everything revolves around the idea of manipulating the animation through JavaScript code. You can interact with Java classes through JavaScript code thanks to Nashorn engine.

How to use?

You should create a file called animation.js in the same folder where you're executing MatrixAnimator2D from. This is the file from where you'll interact with the application.

Script requirements:

• A function called createAnimation with one parameter (the MatrixFrame instance).

Script code example:

function createAnimation(matrixFrame) {
	var MatrixScene = Java.type("me.eduardwayland.matrixanimator.matrix.MatrixScene");
	var matrixScene1 = new MatrixScene(java.awt.Color.GREEN);
	var matrixScene2 = new MatrixScene(java.awt.Color.GRAY);

	var y;
	var x;
	for (y = 0; y < matrixFrame.getRows(); y++) {
		for (x = 0; x < matrixFrame.getCols(); x++) {
	    	if (y % 2 == 0) matrixScene1.fillCell(y, x);
	        else matrixScene2.fillCell(y, x);
	    }
	}

	matrixFrame.addMatrixScene(matrixScene1);
	matrixFrame.addMatrixScene(matrixScene2);
}

Execution

There are two available startup arguments: y(rows) and x(columns).
java -jar MatrixAnimator2D.jar <rows> <columns>
